Division of Evangelism
JULIAN S. HOPKINS, Director
The Division of Evangelism endeavors to do two things. First, to keep before the Baptists of North Caro- lina objectives that will guide us into the practice of evangelism as commanded by Jesus, our Lord and Saviour. Second, to help the leadership in the churches, in the dis- trict associations and in the Convention to be alerted to the best ways and means for reaching these objectives, and to be inspirited for the task.
OVER-ALL OBJECTIVES
TO SEEK and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the implementation of New Testament evangelism among the Baptists of North Carolina.
TO EMPHASIZE at all times and in all places the necessity for the spiritual birth to be experienced by every person before being baptized.
Julian S. Hopkins
TO COOPERATE with all divisions and departments of the Convention in finding ways and means of getting and maintaining the spirit and practice of evangelism (witnessing unto Christ) in every phase of the total Baptist program in North Carolina.
IMMEDIATE OBJECTIVES
TO HELP the churches in the Convention develop their members in faithful witnessing unto Christ and into becoming active participants in God's total redemp- tive purpose.
TO AID every association in its united efforts in evangelism to reach every person for Christ in its territory.
TO STRESS the need for full dedication to Christ in our personal lives and for spiritual depth and motivation in the churches that we may move with God toward His objective of redeeming the world in the hope the Holy Spirit may use us in North Car- olina to win to Christ and baptize at least 40,000 in 1961, 42,100 in 1962, 44,600 in 1963 and 50,500 in 1964 - the year of our Jubilee cele- bration and world-wide united effort in evangelism.
PROGRAM
The Division of Evangelism works to realize its ob- jectives largely in the following ways:
LEADERSHIP CLINICS are held annually to instruct associational chairmen of evangelism in the total program.
WITH THE AID of associational chairmen of evan- gelism efforts are made to conduct a clinic in every asso- ciation each year. The purpose of the clinic is to share with the leaders in the association and the churches the best methods known for carrying out in the churches the command of Jesus to "make disciples" and to instruct and inspirit all Christians in witnessing unto Christ every- where.
A PRAYERFUL EFFORT is made in each anr. state-wide Evangelistic Conference to sound a ringing challenge to pastors and lay people for full dedication to

ASHE MISSIONARY BAPTIST
There are only about fifty per cent of our ordained ministers who have pastoral duties, and most pastors have a service every week. Some churches have services once each month and many churchs have ser- vices more often so the demands are increasing all the time.
The living costs are still going higher for our pastors as well as for all other people. We should resolve here and now that we will see to it that we, the Baptists of the Ashe Association, do our duty as it is set forth in the Bible by contributing to this worthy cause and see that our pastors devote all of their time and effort to preaching the Gospel and not have to take other work to support themselves and their fami- lies. We would recommend that our ministers who are no longer able to carry on the work of a minister avail themselves of the plan for fi- nancial aid in their last years as provided by our board.
I have not tried to bring out anything that has not been in reports of former years, but let us earnestly hope that we will keep this duty in mind and not neglect or forget as we a.e prone to do as in past years.

REPORT OF ORPHANAGE
Close to the heart of Baptist people is the great work of caring for orphan children. Again our Baptist Orphanage has moved forward in its ministry of child care. During the past year 728 children have been cared for by the institution. In addition to this the Social Service De- partment helped to adjust 214 children with relatives. This makes a total of 942 children assisted. This program includes the service of Mills Home of Thomasville, Kennedy Home of Kinston, Mother's Aid and Boarding Homes.
Added to our many other activities, we have promoted a great building and renovating program. A new cottage, a new Print Shop, and a new infirmary were completed in 1952. The I. G Greer Recreat- ional Building was finished early in 1953. and a beautiful new church that will seat 580 people will be completed this year. When this build- ing program is finished, I doubt if any Child Care Agency in America will have more adequate facilities than the Baptists of North Carolina.
The record of the Ashe Association reveals that last year, Ashe County Baptists contributed more to the support of the orphanage than in previous years, but it was still far less than what might be expected of us.
May we be inspired to continue and increase this great work as we think of Him who said: "Inasmuch as ye. have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
Respectfully submitted,
Smith Miller
REPORT ON HOME FOR THE AGED
The subject of this report is the Home for the Aging. The Baptist set up a home at Winston-Salem, March 16, 1951. It was only large enough to take care of about twenty (20) inmates.
Resthaven has been filled to its capacity. The number of requests for a room have increased into hundreds. This home is very young, and the prospect is very good. For a badly needed enlargement this home had a good financial support this year. The part received from the nine-year program in 1952 was $14,628.00. The first special day offering February 15 exceeded $52,000, and from churches and individ- uals and others $12,380.33; about 75 percent came from smaller church- es.
Another home was purchased for a branch home at Albemarle, North Carolina; it will take care of forty residents and twenty at Rest- haven. Plans are under way for other enlargements that will bring our home to a total of 110 residents.
Baptists number about 700,000 in North Carolina. A large number

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
We have held regular meetings, quarterly for the past year. So far as the committee has knowledge, the work has gone on for the past year in a splendid manner.
Wherever churches and pastoral relations are mentioned in the Bible it is a subject consi .! red vital indeed to both church and pas- tor, and surely it is no less so now.
Paul, the great pastor that he was, gives thanks, prayed, longed for, and had a mutual understanding with the people with whom he min- istered. A pastor is supposed to be a man of God's choice, serving a peo- ple of God's choice. Surely there should be a relationship between them that would promote a feeling of gratitude one for the other.
Surely the real pastor gives thanks to God for his church and for each individual which makes up the flock, and in turn, any people
70 A
ASHE MISSIONARY BAPTIST
should be thankful that God has provided a leader and undershepherd for them.
We hear Paul saying, "I make mention of you in my prayers.' There is nothing that the real pastor or man of God wants more than the prayers of his people. It is the God given duty of ail pastors, to p. each the love of God, Challenge his people to the highest, and to lay bare their secret SINS. With faith and a mutual understanding there is no reason why no church should not climb to the highest in God's will. '
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. We, as your Executive Committee, recommend that the Associa- tion be grouped to six (6) groups, same as the Sunday School and the B T. U. Divisions; and that one person from each division be selected to se ve on the Executive Committee so as to give the churches a fair representation on this committee. Also that the Ex officio members of the Association serve with this committee.
2. That special emphasis be placed on Evangelism, and that a ro- vival meeting be held in every church, and also that a place be given on our progrm for discussion on evangelism in the next session of this Association.
3. That the Sunday School and B. T. U. and W. M. S. and Brother- hood be given special attention.
4. That the beautification of church building and grounds be con- tinued.
5. We recommend that a visitation program be organized in every church, under the leadership of the pastors, and that the churches make it possible for the pastor to visit more among his chu.ch by raising his wages to make it possible to do so.
Respectfully submitted,
Rev. M. D. Hart, Chairman
REPORT OF STATE, HOME AND FOREIGN MISSIONS
Your committee has read a number of the fine reports of previous years and desires to commend these for re-reading, especially the out- standing report on pages 14, 15 and 16 of the Minutes of 1952.
Perhaps, though, we hear, we read, we adopt, and fail utterly to heed and to perform. No, not "utterly"; for progress has been made through these years. It is fair, we believe, to say that the membership of Ashe County Baptist Churches ha. been divided on this matter of missions into at least three groups: (1) The g oup that is opposed to or completely indifferent to the mission program and would perhaps feel more at home and should properly belong to one of the frank.y anti-missionary branches of the Baptist faith; (2) The g. oup which pays
7I
ASHE MISSIONARY BAPTIST
lip service to missions and would resent being called anti-missionary but which does little, if any more about missions than the first group; and (3) The group that sincerely believes in the Great Commission and sincerely supports the Co-operative Program of our denomination as the best method to carry it out. Of course some of us are borderline.
May we pause now and ask ourselves honestly, to which group do we, who are here assembled and will soon vote on this report, belong as individuals? To which group does the Church we represent belong?
If "Table F-gifts given through the Church" in the Minutes of 1952 is statistically correct, our, churches during that associational year gave over $33,000.00 for local purposes; paid their pastors about $17,000.00; contributed to the Co-operative Program a little over $1.800 00; and gave for all denominational purposes outside the local churches $10.500 00.
Our leaders tell us that the truly missionary Church should give as much for missions and causes beyond its borders as it spends on it- self. Are they wrong or is it possible that we are wrong? It looks like we spent more than $25.00 on ourselves for every dollar we gave to the Co-operative Program. It looks like we spent on ourselves more than $5.00 for every dollar we gave to all causes beyond our local church borders.
Figures are dry and often confusing and misleading. I shall not quote any more. You may ponder these, if you will.
There yet comes ringing through the centuries the command of our Christ, "Go into all the world ... and preach ... and teach .. . and baptize"; There yet comes "from all the dark places of earth's heathen races" the Macedonian plea, "come ... and help us." Are we deaf to the command and callous to the call?
Do not vote to adopt this report unless you believe that command and unless you are sensitive to the call. And finally, brethren, if we do adopt this report, let us highly resolve to advance in our support of State, Home and Foreign Missions.
Respectfully submitted,
Ira T. Johnston
REPORT ON SUNDAY SCHOOLS
We now have 55 Sunday Schools in our association, with approxi- mately 4,041. There has been five new Sunday Schools added this year but still there are four churches who cannot report a Sunday School. Great progress has been made by churches adding new classes and have had an increased enrollment.
There has been a Bible School in all our churches except one church, (Franklin, in Bel Air, Maryland), this year with an enrollment of 2,157 giving to the Cooperative Program $243.21. There has been 4 ten day schools which is another sign of advancement.

ADULT LADYS CLASS FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, WEST JEFFERSON, N.C. David Horloge bought this Alsoa
Mr. David Harless was one among the most outstanding Christian layman Ashe County has ever produced.
This statement has been verfied by great Christian layman who worked by his side. He was the man who lead the way in getting members of the First Baptist Church, West Jefferson. To give enough money to buy a Box Car Load of brick to give to Friendly Grove Baptist Church.
Friendly Grove Baptist Church members unloaded, and hauled the brick. And laid the brick for the auditorium and first educational building.
I' as pastor .at the time helped to handle the brick, the boys in the commu- nity helped also.
David Harless was a good neighbor to live by, he was always ready to help in times of need.
He had a large blue steer that he pulled more cars out of mud holes than any team of horses. Old Buck never failed, he would get down slow and humble and with his mighty weight came the load.
He was a great help to me as a young pastor, I shall always cherish his good and sound advise.
David Harless was a veterian of World War I. A school teacher and a farmer by traid.
